former cia director david petraeus is breaking his silence with the media speaking for the first time to our sister network hln's keira phillips about the sexual affair that ended his career. she has known petraeus for years interviewing him for many stories on the troops, including a 30-minute live interview on the anniversary of the iraq war. she's had several conversations with him since the scandal broke. petraeus told her he shepped down solely because of the affair with paula broadwell, not because he was scheduled to testify in the attack about the attack on benghazi. he also emphasized he wants to make things right with his wife. >> in our first conversation he had told me had he engaged in something dishonorable, and he sought to do the honorable thing in response, and that was to come forward. he was very clear that he screweded up totally, and it was all his fault, and he felt fortunate to have a war that was far better than he deserves. obviously he is taking it really hard. he knows he made a big mistake, and he does want to move forward making things work with his family

the man who was the head of the cia at the time, david petd petraeus. he testified behind closed doors to both the house and senate intelligence committees. dana bash was there as lawmakers were leaving this meeting. she's joining us from capitol hill, and, dana, there's been a lot of outrage about these conflicting intelligence reports on this attack. was there anything that petraeus said today to kind of clear up some of the confusion. >> it seemed that he certainly tried. when we're talking about confusion, it's whether or not the intelligence community gave appropriate or enough information, maybe emphasis is the right word, on what turns out to be more of the case, which is there are extremist elements that are behind the attack on the consulate in benghazi, much more than a protest which doesn't even appear to have existed. that was what petraeus came in here to try to clear up, but the republicans and democrats are coming out, and republicans for the most part who were talking said that they didn't think that petraeus's recollection of his initia

the cia of course became involved, directly involved in this when the suspected jihadist attacked u.s. facilities in benghazi. general petraeus was scheduled to testify this week. now, that as we know was derailed by the scandal. senator john mccain is one of several republican lawmakers remanding more information from the obama administration on just what the heck happened in benghazi and around benghazi. he's scheduled to give a news conference at the bottom of the hour and we are going to have measure on that. our dana bash has been doing the best she can to take in all of the information. listen, this is tricky. so many of these stories are interconnected. there is a lot of reporting. not all confirmed, but u maybe just start with this. how has this matter worked out that general petraeus will indeed show up on capitol hill and testify voluntarily? >> well, it started with the senate intelligence chairwoman, dianne feinstein telling us yesterday that that was her desire. in her words, that's a big stone left unturned if petraeus doesn't come up here and tell members of congress wh
